They upload a new version of the object with the appropriate properties. The more relevant call for uploading data is http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Diff_upload:_POST_.2Fapi.2F0.6.2Fchangeset .2F.23id.2Fupload. I don't see anything that needs adding to the documentation. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
